nbc's norah o'donnell is in naoma, west virginia. norah, what are the chances and tell us about the search for the miners that they believe to be still alive? >> reporter: well, the governor of this state, governor mansion, tells me the odds are long that those four miners who are still missing will be found alive. still, they are literally trying to move earth in order to try and rescue them. they've got crews up there bulldozing essentially an access road so they can drill 1,100 feet into the earth to essentially allow the relief of some gases that are explosive. they're worried about the methane gas and they're worried about carbon monoxide gas. we had been told earlier this morning that may take 12 hours. now we're being told it will be wednesday night. the process is slow going. you can imagine what it's like for family members knowing one of their loved ones may still be trapped more than 1,000 feet below in that mine. excruciating. the family members, we're told, have pulled together. a lot of them have spent a lot of time up

>> norah o'donnell. doug, you saw the cbo chief talking about the debt being unsustainable going from perhaps $7.5 trillion to $20 trillion at the end of 2020. what do you think about what volcker said about a fall added tax? how would that work? is it a real possible? >> in terms of the value added tax, the tax i was has international experience. a lot of companies have used it. it's a tax, taxes consumption. that's our problem. we assume too much, save too little. i will say the big problem in our budget is one that is spending. if you look at the obama budgets, they're going to run a deficit of $1.2 trillion in 2020 because spending will be $1.2 trillion above historic norms. a congress and administration are going to talk about tax policy, but you've got to begin, as you mean to go on. that means, doing the hard thing, cutting some spending programs. that's politically unpopular but realistically the only way to survive. >> are there any republicans that would come out in favor of a value-added tax?
